since I magically convinced my family I'm a skater tomboy I got a wardrobe change and I gotta say: Was it a relief? ABSOLUTELY!! omg I love being able to wear whatever I want, tho oddly enough I sometimes still wanna wear a skirt...idk if that's odd Were you worried about what others thought? not really,people already don't really like me imo and I often get talked Abt so its something I'm already used to,nothing really changed. Did it fill you with glee? yes! Was it a normal feeling? yeah pretty normal, its a bit weird at first but its easy to get used to. -

I just wanna know what everyone thinks if I should come out to some people in my family. my immediate family is not supportive but especially like my cousin I think he'd understand since he's trans himself and I really want to tell some of my family members. thoughts? ik ultimately its my decision I just wanna know if anyone thinks its a bad/good decision. -

My daughter, is selling her house and moving in with her fiancée. That leaves the 18 year old no place to live, no job, no college, and little idea what she wants to do. We said she could move in with us. And she asked if she really could, we said yes so here she comes after she graduates from high school in May. The only thing her mother is doing for her is giving her a car. A 2014 Equinox originally bought for her older sister. there are lots of summer jobs here being a tourist area, and many of them become year round. Not only that but after she has been here for a year she can go to community college free in some specialities. So yes, a real, honest to gosh 18 year old girl! -

Kay, it's a body movement typical of male geometry that forces the shoulders to sway left and right. Because of our narrow pelvis area, our center of mass is forced to a higher position. Because our center of mass is situated much higher, male's upper bodies, specifically the shoulders, move a lot when walking. A woman's center of mass much lower, closer to the pelvis, and this tends to dampen, even eliminate upper body movements that result from walking. Their body movements are contained in the hips, buttocks and thighs. Watch the way men and women walk and the difference is obvious. Personally, I think shoulder sway is the most telling male walking characteristic. -

Last Friday night my Trans Chorus group put on a TDOV show with an LGBTQ Mariachi Orchestra in a 200 person audience theater. I was doing video recording of the show which I have done for a long time. At the intermission I badly needed to use a Rest Room and instead of going to the performers' greenroom toilet which they were ganged up at, I used the ones in the lobby of the theater. We are in an LGBT Center facility and all the rest rooms, even public areas, are gender neutral. Simply by choosing the shorter line, which was using the room without urinals, I ended up in line between two Cis looking men. None of us even blinked at the experience and just moved up in queue as the doors opened on each toilet to let us in. I washed my hands with a male on one side and a NB person on the other hand basin, no problem, and then I hurried back to my camera equipment which was being watched by the stage lighting person nearby. The night before at Tech Rehearsal, the south restroom (the one without urinals) had been locked, and we were using the room with urinals which has fewer toilets but the manners and the procedure of the people using them were as nonchalant then as well. We are used to the set up there and "what is, is". On show night we even had some pre-teen and teen children in the audience and no special arrangements were made. One younger child, whom I heard was Autism Spectrum was having trouble with the sound levels and tempos of the Mariachi music but one of the volunteers doing the ushering handed the kid's mom a packet of child size disposable ear plugs, and all was good. The other young audience members had a great time, and I got the whole show recorded without incident other than another quick Rest room visit after the curtain call. My only big head shaking thought is that as weird and quirky and possibly crazy as California, and Los Angeles are and we can have Gender Neutral facilities without more than some tourist's wide eyes looking at us, why can't the rest of the whole country do it. -

Sorry, but NO!! Asking for trouble, and getting it are on YOU, the one who does ask for it. The person I am concerned about is the person who "looks Trans" but is Cis who gets misgendered and arrested. We are seeing a lot of that in other areas other than gender these days, which disgusts the hell out of me. I have an element of admiration for the girl for carrying through on her intention and willingness to accept the consequences, but I do not feel sorry about what has happened so far on this one. -

I should say that up till now, my VA has been very supportive. I'm not sure it's like that everywhere. -

https://www.militarytimes.com/veterans/2025/03/17/va-leaders-roll-back-policy-ensuring-medical-care-for-transgender-vets/ "In a statement, VA Secretary Doug Collins said that “VA should not be focused on helping veterans attempt to change their sex” and claimed most Americans and veterans would support the decision." I was there today. At this point they will not take on new patients for HRT, but can continue if you are already getting treatment. I guess we'll see what happens next. I'll be surprised if it lasts. But I did get to see my gynecologist today. I will still get my meds, and have my next appointment on the schedule. -

I just want people to see this law and how crazy it is to put people like us in jail. I was so terrified,” she said. She admits she hadn’t consulted legal or advocacy organizations before the endeavor; she didn’t know what to expect. “They were treating me like I murdered someone — but I just used the wrong bathroom.” Rheintgen said she was motivated to act after seeing the anti-trans legislation surge throughout the United States, and when she read about Hunter Schafer, the Euphoria actress, who was issued a “male” passport despite being a woman. “She’s a personal hero of mine,” Rheintgen said. The fear and the vitriol she saw play out over the news cycle brought her to a breaking point." I wish her luck. I used the women's a couple times today while I was in Asheville. Nobody said anything about it. But I didn't tell the cops ahead of time. I doubt that I would have done it in Florida. -

My youngest moved back home with me. I guess you never get away from being a parent. -

Yeah, just going to the mailbox was hard at first. This is true. I kinda decided that not passing was not a dealbreaker for me. I just go. (Of course there are still situations I avoid.) I've been told I pass better than I realize, but it's not something I count on. Most all the people I interact with when I'm out and about are at least polite - some are quite friendly.
